GOLF 101

My unofficial coach, James Kong, imparted his skills (Chinese movie - impart 9 levels, possess 10th level) to me to fine-tune my swing.

My glaring mistakes were:
- Back-swing spotted with the "chicken wing" right elbow
- Left shoulder didn't rotate enough, only had the wrist movement
- Back-swing was too fast, down-swing not fast enough
- Head looked up too soon on impact
- Didn't have a complete circle motion
- etc.. etc..

He corrected me. Now, each time before I swing, I had all these mental pictures in my mind:
- Left shoulder rotate, right hand merely following the left hand
- Back-swing should be nice and slow
- Head touching the left shoulder, and head touching the right shoulder; mirroring
- "Uncoil" and "Inside-out"
- Hips should be one quick thrust to the left together with the uncoiling action; body should be one full system
- Chest should be facing the target, arms follow through, right heel up with soul facing behind, knees touching one another

Wow! Looks like a lot going through my head during the set-up! I think if the hamster can do it, so can I!
